The National Weather Service has issued a cold weather advisory until noon Saturday for wind chills as low as nine below zero. As cold weather persists, the University wants to remind our community about tips for protecting yourself, your residences and your property, plus dealing with winter weather. These will be posted on UD's emergency preparedness and response page, along with updates on weather alerts, event cancellations and building closures.

AI at UD

Adapting for a Changing World

Since our founding in 1850, UD has adapted to meet the changing needs of the world. 

At UD, students build the knowledge and skills to use AI effectively and responsibly, preparing them to learn and lead in an increasingly AI-enabled world. This means that Flyers understand not only when to use AI but also when not to use it — and how to evaluate AI outputs.

Across campus, we also foster cutting-edge AI research, facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, enhance performance and efficiency, and contribute to solving real-world challenges.
